Great place to stay for a night (BE CAUTIOUS OF BEARS)

Great place to rest for a night and close to Jackson. The camp site is easily accessible by cars and vans. We were the only people camping when we arrived late at night.

Be cautious of bears as we arrived and found large bear droppings.

For Hiking & Stargazing

Never too packed. There’s about 6 spaces that I’ve counted to camp. Trailhead draws a lot of visitors during the day. No toilets, dumping, hookups or water. Just the stars and roaring creek. Beautiful back there. Once you pass Moose Creek Ranch, it’s a straight shot back on that bumpy road. Not far from Victor or Jackson.
